TRESome is a creative challenge, a unique art
experience involving three Latino artists getting together
for sixty minutes to create three different perspectives

piece in the allotted time.

La
Ropa Sucia (Dirty Laundry) Fotonovela. La Ropa Sucia
is a fotonovela produced by ETV, in collaboration with Palmetto
& Luna and the SC Humanities council, and designed to
target both Hispanic and non-Hispanic teenagers; its purpose
is to shed light on the issues facing the Hispanic community,
such as racism, assimilation, and religious and sub-cultural
division, as well as more universal issues such child abuse,
domestic violence, addiction, and low self-esteem –
issues that all teens may face. The project was conceived
and directed by Marycruz Figueroa, a young woman of Mexican
and Guatemalan descent, who was born in Aiken, South Carolina.
